Summary
Nurses in Oman show positive attitudes towards evidence-based practice (EBP) but have low knowledge and implementation. This study highlights the need for strategies to improve EBP utilization among Omani nurses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- Limited research exists on evidence-based practice (EBP) among nurses in Oman.
- Understanding nurses' knowledge, practice, and attitudes towards EBP is crucial for improving healthcare quality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the knowledge, practice, and attitudes towards EBP among nurses in Oman.
- To establish a baseline for future EBP initiatives in Omani healthcare settings.
Main Methods:
- A multi-institutional, cross-sectional study was conducted.
- A random sample of 262 nurses from various healthcare settings in Al Dakhliyah governorate, Oman, participated.
- The self-reported Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire was utilized.
Main Results:
- A total of 202 nurses completed the survey (77.1% response rate).
- Attitudes towards EBP had the highest mean score (5.5±1.2), followed by knowledge (4.9±0.8) and practice (4.7±1.2).
- Positive correlations were found between years of nursing experience and EBP knowledge, practice, and attitudes.
Conclusions:
- Omani nurses generally possess positive attitudes toward EBP.
- However, their knowledge and practical application of EBP are low.
- This study provides foundational data for developing strategies to enhance EBP utilization in Oman.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.1K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
